Live Bet SundayNFL2022-09-04Do not overvalue home-field advantage in the NFL, it's not worth nearly as much as college football
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-09-04Don't underestimate the impact of preseason narrative on NFL futures
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-09-04Teams with poor public perception present buy low opportunities
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-09-04You can still find value throughout the season on the adjusted futures market
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-09-04Be patient if you don't get the line you were looking for. If you read the market and wait closer to kickoff, you can get a better line.
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-09-04For betting NFL player props on a week-to-week basis, you want to shop around and get involved ealier than later
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-09-04If you have conviction on a team and they have a tough start to the season or an injury, wait and get involved in the adjusted win total market
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-09-11Consider live betting the UNDER if teams get off to a hot start in a game with a low pregame total.
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-09-11Teams behind on the scoreboard but are showing urgency on offense have value on the in-game line
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-09-11Regardless of the matchup, large divisional favorites are never a lock in survivor contests
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-09-11If both offenses have quality drives but the drives are stalling early, it can lead to low in-game totals and an opportunity to buy over on a low total
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-09-11If you're confident in a side but want a shorter line, it's ok to wait and let the game get close to buy the line you want
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-09-11It's important to trust your own process, and not overreact to a losing bet
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-09-18Look for reasons behind the numbers. Sometimes a bad gameplan can lead to bad statistics.
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-09-18Try to fade a team who isn't used to being up early in game
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-09-18Be Aware of massive live movement following an inury. Its mostly an overreation.
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-10-02Follow beat reporters and listen to press conferences for injury news. You don't always have to wait for the injury report to be released
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-10-02For in-game wagering, you can trust teams that go down by two scores early in the matchup to make up ground. The live market can potentially undervalue the better team down on the scoreboard
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-10-02Take a mental note of teams that blow leads consistently like the Ravens have twice this season. Playing the opposition when they're down early against those teams that can't hold a lead can potentially be a valuable play
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-10-02Be disciplined. Just because the NFL late window is light, does not mean you have to force in-game action
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-10-02Pre-game underdogs that take a lead early in the game can still have betting value on the in-game market because the in-game line hasn't adjusted too far away from the pre-game line
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-10-02Practice patience. If you're confident in a side but want a shorter line, it's OK to wait and let the game get close to buy the line you want
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-10-09In-game betting algorithms often do not adjust accurately for injuries at key positions.
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-10-09Look back at who teams have played and if they're comparable to their current matchup. The market can overreact to perceived big victories or bad losses
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-10-09Pay attention to extreme betting splits. For the Lions-Patriots matchup, 70% of the tickets were on the Lions but 70% of the money was on the Patriots. Clearly sharp action was on the Patriots while the public favored the Lions in a lopsided Patriots victory over the Lions 29-0
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-10-09Be careful about backing teams that are not use to being big favorites because the market is most likely overvaluing that team. For example, the Jaguars being favored by 7 vs the Texans today
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-10-16If a team scores on a fluke play early in the game (ie deflected pass INT), look to live bet the other side.
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-10-16When live betting, during halftime you should dive into the boxscore instead of just basing it off of feel and what you think will happen
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-10-23Be careful when adjusting a team's power rating after a big trade. Positions other than QB typically do not impact the betting line much
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-10-23Going into each week, handicap which teams perform well/poorly in the 1st half and which teams perform well/poorly in the 2nd half and then bet accordingly
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-10-23When getting involved in in-season win totals and division futures, pay attention to the schedule and the context of those matchups
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-10-23Know which teams have an actual true home-field advantage. A team like the Saints always draw well at home and the crowd is fully invested in that matchup, the Chargers do not draw a ton of fans in LA and the crowd is normally split between the two teams
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-10-23Don't assume because a favorite is down early that they'll make a comeback and they're worth playing on the live line. Sometimes the market is wrong and it's not worth jumping in on the live line when the favorite is having a bad game
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-10-23Look to play tight ends over their receiving yards prop total on National Tight End Day. Overs went 11-4 this Sunday
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-10-30Turnover-worthy play rate can be a better indicator of a QBs performance than actual turnovers. This stat helps to correct for turnover luck in your handicap.
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-10-30Just as you would pregame, shop around while betting the in-game market. Not all in-game markets are the same and if you're quick enough you can find discrepancies in the market
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-10-30There's value in live betting against a team that jumps out to an early lead but has a poor defense like the Detroit Lions did today vs the Miami Dolphins. The market favored the Lions in-game and the Dolphins came back to win 31-27
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-10-30Have a game plan and decide before the game starts whether or not you're going to jump on a matchup. If you have two teams that you don't trust back facing each other, it's probably a good idea to stay away all together instead of searching for a reason to bet it
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-10-30When live betting, if the box score and your eyes agree on a side then you should probably bet it, but if you have to talk yourself into a side, it probably worth holding off placing a wager
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-10-30Avoid placing a wager on an in-game line in a matchup between two teams that can't convert on third downs or in the red zone. Recognize when its just a bad game and has no betting value
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-11-06If teams are moving the ball but not scoring due to turnovers, monitor the in-game total. A significant drop is a good opportunity to come in on the OVER.
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-11-06Remember the teams that don't play the full 60-minutes on a week-to-week basis. Teams like the Ravens and Raiders have proven this season that they'll let the opposition hang around and can provide in-game wagering opportunities
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-11-06Recognize when the better team is having an off day. Even when the live line seems too good to pass up, even a dominant team like the Bills have off days
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-11-06When looking at the NFL Awards betting market at this point in the season, you should factor in the player or coach's strength of schedule going forward, and same for their closest competitors. If the races are are tight, it could come down to the results in the finals weeks of the season
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-11-06If the Seahawks are playing against an elite run defense team, look at playing over on Geno Smith's passing props. It's been pretty clear throughout the season that the Seahawks will take what defenses give them
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-11-06If there's value on the in-game moneyline and the the Cardinals are down, look to play their oppositions moneyline. The Cardinals are 6-26-1 SU when losing at the half under Kliff Kingsbury
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-11-13Don't be afraid to make a bet based off solid information if you believe the pregame line has value. (Ex: Josh Allen starting vs Vikings)
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-11-13If you notice a first half is lackluster offensively, but somehow a few points get scored towards the end of the half. Look for the second half total to be inflated and if you're confident that the same lackluster performance will continue, take a look at playing the under
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-11-13Take notice when teams, no matter how good they are, have a tough time covering and winning straight up in close games. A team like the Bills are 2-9 straight up in their last 11 games of 8-pts or less. If you think the game is going to be close, the Bills might be the team to fade
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-11-13Gather all the evidence to support your opinion. It's lazy to place a wager on a side just because you think they're due. Your chances of losing your bet are higher without doing your homework on a matchup
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-11-13Trust your handicap and bet with conviction. If the game is unfolding exactly the way you predicted and the live line is still in your favor. If you keep hammering the live line, you can double or triple your original investment
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-11-13Avoid getting involved in-game with less than a minute left in the game or during overtime, unless you feel like you have an edge. Sometimes it's too late to get involved, and you could be wasting your wager on a game that could come down to a coin flip
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-11-20Look for opportunities to fade teams in the first week after making a change to their playcaller or offensive strategy.
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-11-20Try and find in-game coaching mismatches. Today you had Colts head coach, Jeff Saturday playing with a lead for the first time against a well coached Eagles team catching as short line on the in-game market. Eagles came back to win 17-16
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-11-20Take notice when one team has historically had another team’s number. The Jets took action early in the week moving the line from +3.5 to +3 vs the Patriots. The Patriots tend to play well vs the Jets, and that remained to be the case on Sunday with the Patriots winning 10-3
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-11-20Pay attention to the live line after a quick score on the first drive of the game. Those plays tend to be scripted, which can lead to success early in the game and can over inflate the live line.
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-11-20Draw a line through a game that has no value on the in-game line. The perception was that the Ravens, coming off a bye, should have steamrolled the Panthers. They play sluggish the entire game and had zero value on the in-game market.
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-11-20Trust your eyes. If you notice a team is allowing the opposition to hang around and not capitalizing on their own opportunities, look to back the team hanging around.
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-11-27If you’re getting involved in the futures market, look back at a teams body of work. Consider their wins and losses, because they’re not all equal and can tell how they may do when the playoffs come around
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-11-27During a blowout, keep in mind the winning teams next game and whether or not they’re pulling their starters. There can be potential value on buying in on the losing teams in-game line with the thought that the winning team will pump the breaks.
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-11-27Davante Adams has 40 targets over the last three games. The Raiders seem to be force-feeding him the ball, consider betting OVER on his player props vs the Seahawks.
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-11-27You can find value on the in-game market if you think a team is going to reverse its first half bad luck. For example, teams that struggled capitalizing on red zone opportunities in the first half can make adjustments and get into the end zone in the second half.
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-11-27Quick scores at the beginning of the game and at the beginning of the half can inflate the in-game lines off of their true value. Those plays tend to be scripted which is why teams have success early, while defenses make in-game adjustments.
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-11-27Unless you really feel you need to get out of a bet, you don’t have to attempt to hedge when the game isn’t going as you predicted. Hedging is just raises the floor, but lowers the ceiling on you original investment. Unless you’re confident that you’re you’re going to win your hedge, sometimes it’s best to ride out the original bet.
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-12-04When looking at getting involved in the NFL Awards betting market at this point in the season, you should factor in the player or coach’s strength of schedule going forward, and same for their closest competitors. It could come down to the results in the finals weeks of the season if the race for a particular award is close.
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-12-04Monitor Twitter for injury news and notes. Avoid placing a wager based on the current scoreline and playing an in-game line without gathering all in information.
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-12-04Break down the box score when getting involved with in-game totals. Check out how many yards per play both teams are getting, and how they’re doing in the red zone up to that point.
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-12-04When handicapping a matchup, look into to a teams level of competition on a week-to-week basis and who that particular team is putting up those stats on.
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-12-04Notice when a team isn’t taking advantage of their opportunities to put a team away early. Teams make adjustments and there can be value on the other side if you like the live line.
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-12-04Andy Reid is great at early-drive scripted plays. If the Chiefs get out to a quick lead, consider taking the Bengals in-game if it drifts above +3.
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-12-11Denver games are 11-1 to the under, the highest under percentage in the league. While the Broncos offense has struggled, the defense is elite, laying a big number of +9.5 vs the Chiefs.
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-12-18There’s potential value playing player props in-game depending on the shift in a team’s game plan. For example, there can be value playing the in-game passing yards over on a quarterback who is behind on the scoreboard. The team can shift their game plan to more of a passing attack, which will pad the passing stats trying to get back into the game.
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-12-18Not all quarterbacks are worth the same, and unfortunately injuries are a part of football. Handicap the quarterback room to know what the backups are worth so that you can find value on the in-game market in case the starting quarterback goes down.
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-12-18Take notice to pace of play when getting involved in the in-game market. Today, the Steelers clearly had a game plan to slow the game down vs the Panthers. It’s not worth getting involved late with a team that’s down two scores when possessions left in the game may be scarce.
Live Bet SundayNFL2022-12-18The Titans and Chargers' offensive strengths are right in line with the defensive weaknesses of their opponents. Consider looking at the OVER in this game.
Live Bet SundayNFL/CFB2022-12-18Monitor box scores and drive stats if you're betting in-game, not just scores. Scores only tell a part of the story, dive into the stats for a deeper understanding of the game flow.

Live Bet SundayNFL2023-01-01Raiders' QB Stidham has been working with Josh McDaniels for much of his career. There may not be a huge dropoff from Derek Carr.
Live Bet SundayNFL2023-01-01The betting market has continued to refuse to adjust its perception of the Tampa Bay Bucs. They are 3-11-1 ATS but consistently have numbers move toward them.
Live Bet SundayNFL2023-01-07Mike Vrabel has spent the last two weeks preparing the Titans and Josh Dobbs to play the Jaguars. He'll have a great game plan and they'll be in a position to push Jacksonville to their limit.
Live Bet SundayNFL2023-01-08The Seahawks will earn a playoff bid with a win vs the Rams, but they are 1-6 ATS in their past seven games. The betting market may be overvaluing Seattle.
Live Bet SundayNFL2023-01-15In a game with a big pregame favorite, the second half is often lower scoring than the first in blowouts. Consider checking out the in-game total for the second half and betting the under.
Live Bet SundayNFL2023-01-15When live betting a game, make a plan and set a buy point with a specific number you're looking for on the side or total.
Live Bet SundayNFL2023-01-22Zeke Elliott's production has been way down recently. The Cowboys like giving him the ball in goal-to-go situations, but it'll likely be Pollard who gets the majority of the carries.
Live Bet SundayNFL2023-01-22Injured Bengals’ OT Jonah Williams allowed 13 sacks of Burrow this year, the most of any OL in the NFL. Will the dropoff really be that significant?
Live Bet SundayNFL2023-01-29If you can find a Patrick Mahomes rushing prop, consider taking a small bet on the OVER - anticipating a market overreaction to his ankle injury.
Live Bet SundayNFL2023-01-29Last week, the Bengals' OL injuries were discussed heavily before their matchup with the Bills. Those injuries are still there. Do not let their success last week allow you to forget it.
Live Bet SundayNFL2023-02-05These Super Bowl side and total markets are pretty efficient, so consider looking at some props that allow you to be a range of points. For example, with a total at 50.5, it makes sense to take the total to land 50-55 at +475 for a small bet.
Live Bet SundayNFL2023-02-05The majority of the handle for the Super Bowl will come relatively late, ramping up a few days before the game. Expect this action to alter the money line prices if not the spread.
Live Bet SundayNBA2023-02-05You can often get an edge betting overnight lines in the NBA, but injury reports are volatile in the regular season. Consider splitting your bet between a pregame side and an in-game number.
Live Bet SundayNBA2023-02-26When stars are out in the NBA, the side often rightfully adjusts. However, the total often stays relatively the same. If a star like Giannis is ruled OUT and the total remains high, consider taking the UNDER.

Live Bet SundayMLB2023-04-23When looking at betting first 5's make sure to look at how the relievers perform in their last start.
Live Bet SundayMLB2023-04-30Try not to bet run lines and over totals on the home team as they are not guaranteed to have an at-bat in the 9th inning.
Live Bet SundayNBA2023-07-09Don't overreact to any future bets in the Rookie of the Year tab. This is the NBA Summer Leauge, and these games mean essentially nothing to top draft picks.
Live Bet SundayNFL2023-07-16Don't buy into any NFL future right after a trade or acquisition happens. Lots of people will flock to bet on that team right away, and the number will be inflated sometime.
Live Bet Sunday* OTHER2023-07-16With Oppenheimer coming out this weekend and it shifting to the favorite position in the Award futures at +300. If you like it to win Best Picture, wait until Killers of the Flower Moon comes out and the odds will shift back to a better value.

Live Bet SundayNFL2023-08-13If you don't feel comfortable betting season win totals, take a look at the divisional win total market if you have a really good feel for a certain division like the NFC North, where there could be much parody.
Live Bet SundayCFB2023-08-20UTEP has a lot of value in winning Conference USA. sitting at 11/1, they have one of the most improved teams in this conference. At least you should consider playing their win total over, and backing them in some games this year.
Live Bet SundayMLB2023-08-27Keep an eye on schedule strength going forward. The futures market reflects some new favorites. If you like the Astros, they are the third choice to win the division now.
Live Bet SundayNFL2023-11-12With tough games to handicap in primetime, don't feel forced to bet it like Jets vs Raiders.
